Gold Tiger Ascent Slot Review

I live at the ass-end of the Southern Hemisphere, which means that if I want to experience snow I have to drive deep into the mountains.

As you can imagine, this is a bit of a hassle. So much so that I’ve only seen snow twice in my almost three decades of living.

I know from my friends and family up north that cold weather isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Aside from the fact that snow is kind of gross, it can also lead to some pretty dangerous (and occasionally comical) situations.

Considering that you practically become a marathon runner every time you step outside your door, it’s no surprise that you Northerners are so keen to escape to our paradise down south every year.

There’s not much dignity in slipping and sliding all over the place. Now, I may just be particularly uncoordinated, but I d0 feel like I’m taking my life into my hands every time I set foot in the snow.

Does “Jesus take the wheel” apply to this situation? Maybe, “Jesus take my legs”? Although, that kind of sounds like I’m pleading for a spontaneous amputation of my lower limbs.

Still, snow is such a novelty that I can’t help but romanticize it. You can imagine my delight at seeing the winter wonderland featured in Gold Tiger Ascent slot from Betsoft Gaming.

Gameplay

While Gold Tiger Ascent slot might only have 3 reels, it impressed me. I’m usually not a massive fan of 3 reel games, but this slot happens to be one of the few exceptions.

Crystal clear oriental graphics complement the theme nicely, and the sound effects immediately immerse you in the slot’s world.

The Wild is represented by a Red Envelope sporting WILD” in Chinese-inspired text. It substitutes for all symbols other than the Envelope Scatter.

The game’s mascot, the Gold Tiger, is located at the bottom right of the reels - cheering you on as you play.

Gold Tiger Ascent slot comes with 10 paylines, making it slightly different from traditional 3 reel, 1 payline games. This can help boost your winning opportunities.

Cast your bet between €0.10 and €100, and watch as the reels spin. The RTP is set at 95.37%, and you’ll benefit from the medium volatility rate, offering decent wins and a maximum payout of €252,000.

Features

Gold Tiger Ascent slot is no Mickey Mouse game. Packed with epic features and generous payouts, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a 3 reel slot more exciting than this.

I was most surprised by the Magic Red Envelopes bonus round. With every spin, you have a chance of landing 3 to 5 of these symbols on the reels.

They remain sealed until the reels stop spinning, at which point they can open to reveal a multitude of prizes: high-paying symbols like the Sack of Gold and Firecracker, Wilds, Scatters, and even Cash Prizes.

Landing 3 or more Scatters will trigger the Free Spins round, during which 3 to 9 Magic Red Envelopes will appear on the reels:

Land 3 Scatters to score 6 Free Spins
Land 4 Scatters to score 8 Free Spins
Land 5 Scatters to score 10 Free Spins

This feature can be re-triggered, so you have the potential to earn even more Free Spins during the game.

The Buy feature gives you instant access to Free Spins with at least 3 Magic Envelopes on each spin. There’s no waiting around for the feature to trigger on its own, but you will have to cough up a pretty penny to gain access.

Finally, click the Autoplay button to rest that spinning finger, and allow the reels to turn on their own. You can choose to set this feature for 10 to 20 spins and control your bet simultaneously.

Performance

I’m usually a desktop girl, but I honestly enjoyed playing Gold Tiger Ascent slot on my mobile phone as much as I did on my laptop. There are no glitches in either format, and the game adapts very well to the big and small screens.

Maximum Win

The maximum win is €252,000 - plenty generous if you ask me.

Conclusion

I was gobsmacked by just how brilliant Gold Tiger Ascent slot is. From the captivating graphics to the fantastic extra features, BetSoft Gaming has left no stone unturned.

If you’re stuck in the Southern Hemisphere craving a bit of cold respite, this slot might just be the tonic that you need. If snow isn’t your thing, you won’t even notice it, thanks to the warmth radiating from your newly hot bankroll.
